"Founded by San Francisco native Toriano Gordon, this vegan barbecue operation has quickly become a standout in Oakland’s barbecue scene, earning rapid media attention and a meteoric rise from a small storefront. The business has already outgrown its current Oakland location and is actively searching for a larger space while planning to expand into San Francisco. Gordon has discussed his start in the industry and the restaurant’s growth on Eater’s Digest, highlighting the momentum behind the concept." - Amanda Kludt
